I’m pretending I’m knitting

I haven’t done very much in the way of knitting since this weekend. I’ve spun, and tinkered with the cabled cardi from Vogue, but I haven’t made any real progress. However, I still have pictures to show you, so here goes…

Oooh, ahhhh. These are Grandma’s socks. They are done, and as I said yesterday, they’re in the mail.

And here is Carrie’s doll for the Valentine’s Day giveaway. It is also in the mail.

On the Vogue cable cardi, I knit another inch or so on the back last night. I was way-very-much busy with everything imaginable yesterday, and when I finally got to sit down, around 4:30 or so, I decided to play with beads instead of knit. Mainly because I decided to make myself a spinning hook. I made, like, four. At first, I thought I was being ridiculous because, who needs four spinning hooks? Ahhh, but I very quickly realized that I would need more like fifteen spinning hooks, because when pretty, sparkly things are within reach of little princesses, they disappear. So four (I only know where two are right now) is hardly in excess.

And while we’re speaking of the Vogue cable cardi, you have to go and check out Shana’s. (I’m turning into a fan-girl). She has the fronts and back blocking right now, and they’re so freaking cool!!! I can’t wait to see it on her. I only hope mine looks that good, and fits me.

    Wait, are those socks Cherry Tree Hill merino in Blueberry Hill? Because they look extremely similar to a pair I just made. I like the colorway, obviously, and your socks look gorgeous!
